The 'EastEnders' couple are due to marry next week, with Mercy unaware of her best friend's true feelings towards her, believing that he is only marrying her to prevent her from being deported.
In an interview with Soaplife, Norwood said: "There's just a lot of awkwardness between them.
"They're both living at Grace's, Fatboy is sleeping on the sofa and it's all a bit uncomfortable."
Discussing Mercy's feelings on the day of their wedding, he explained that she is still "unsure" about the plan - while Fatboy forgets the trouble he could be in if they are discovered.
He added: "No, he hasn't thought about the consequences at all.
"He thought it would be as simple as getting a ring on her finger, but it's not. Immigration don't go away."
However, with Bunmi Mojekwu leaving the soap, Norwood said of his character: "It means he's going to get his heart broken. But maybe there will be another special lady who will love Fatboy for who he is. "My girlfriend (Jade Ewen) watches the show and keeps saying, 'Mercy should love him!'"

EastEnders actor Ricky Norwood talks to Soaplife about how Fatboy's sham wedding to Mercy is really the real thing for him!

While the groom can't take his eyes off the bride, she's hating every minute of the ceremony. Welcome to Fatboy and Mercy's wedding which is only taking place to stop her from being deported. Soaplife talked to Ricky about Fatboy's true feelings for Mercy, which he reveals to her before the big day.

Why was Fatboy reluctant to tell Mercy he loves her?
"Because he believes that she doesn't see him like that and he was worried that she would call off the wedding. He also thinks that after they marry she'll fall in love with him over a period of time."

Do things change between them when they're married?
"No. There’s just a lot of awkwardness between them. They're both living at Grace's, Fatboy is sleeping on the sofa and it's all a bit uncomfortable."

How long has Fatboy carried a torch for Mercy?
"A long time. They've been friends since they were nine years old and he was certainly in love with her when E20 started. He was really upset when she got pregnant by somebody else and then lost the baby."

Does he know she nearly called the wedding off?
"Yes, Lauren told him and he then pressured Mercy into going along with it. He feels obliged to help because it was his dad Ashley who tipped off the immigration authorities."

How does Mercy seem on the big day?
"She doesn't enjoy it at all. She's still unsure about what they're doing."

Does Fatboy realise he could go to prison if he gets found out?
"No, he hasn't thought about the consequences at all. He thought it would be as simple as getting a ring on her finger, but it's not. Immigration don't go away."

We know that Bunmi Mojekwu, who plays Mercy, is leaving. What does this mean for Fatboy?
"It means he's going to get his heart broken. But maybe there will be another special lady who will love Fatboy for who he is. My girlfriend [Jade Ewen] watches the show and keeps saying, 'Mercy should love him!'"Are you enjoying the role?
"I am. I was delighted when I got the National Television Award for Best Newcomer. People have really taken Fatboy to their hearts. It's amazing. I can't believe I'm here. I didn't go to drama school. I'm just a boy from Forest Gate."

Jade Almarie Louise Ewen (born 24 January 1988) is an English singer, songwriter, actress and member of the Sugababes. Ewen began her singing career in the girl group Trinity Stone signed to Sony BMG in 2005, but they disbanded in 2007 with no album released.

She achieved 5th place, cementing her as the most successful British Eurovision act since 2002. She replaced Keisha Buchanan in the Sugababes in September 2009, while at the time still signed to Polydor Records.

Ewen was born and brought up in Plaistow, London, to a Jamaican mother, Carol and a Scottish-Sicilian father, Trevor. Trevor is blind and partially deaf, while Carol is partially blind.

A Brief History of The Sugababes

Sugababes are an English pop girl group based in London, consisting of members Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen. The Guinness Book of World Records have named the Sugababes as the most successful female act of the 21st century with six UK number one singles and eighteen UK top ten hits.

Sugababes were formed in 1998 by founding members Siobhán Donaghy, Mutya Buena and Keisha Buchanan. In 2001, after just one album and some initial success, Donaghy departed and the introduction of Range in the same year was met with the commercial success. The group survived a second line-up change in December 2005, when Buena left the band and was subsequently replaced by Berrabah. In September 2009, it was confirmed that after eleven years in the band, Buchanan was no longer part of the group and had been replaced by Jade Ewen.
